Late goal allows Manchester United to escape with 1-0 win over Wolverhampton in Premier League opener
Manchester United needed a rare goal from defender Raphael Varane and a slew of late saves from Andre Onana to eke out a 1-0 win over Wolverhampton after being outplayed for long periods of their Premier League opener on Monday.
Wolves struck the post through Matheus Cunha early in the second half, while substitute Fabio Silva drew two saves from the feet of Onana in the closing stages as United hung on. Wolves had 23 shots — the most by a visiting team at Old Trafford in the Premier League since 2005 — but lacked a cutting edge just like last season, when it was the lowest scorer in the league with 31 goals.
“It looked like their goalkeeper almost took his head off,” O’Neil said. “I’m not overly surprised we didn’t get it, to be honest. He booked me rather than Onana for smashing into my forward.”
